Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.

You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

Urgent Medical Advice: If you need, or think you might need, urgent medical advice you should contact a vet. If it is out of working hours phone your vet's normal number and there should be an answer phone message with instructions on what to do.

We did, We were given some medication for her which she took no problem. This morning we let her out to run around and stretch her legs, by dinnertime, she was stiff as a bone.
Apparently their was a minimal chance of the issue to be removed and little chance of survival.

I think she knew what was coming, suggesting her reasons for killing her kits.

I'm guessing Your a breeder if your happy about more babies being born? I'm sorry but in my eyes that's not good news, there are hundreds of rabbits in rescues from rabbits being over breed and people not looking after them properly. Also if you have lots of bunnies, are they housed in appropriate housing meeting the rwaf guidelines of 6ft x 6ft x 2ft hutch with 24/7 access to a run?

How awful that she's gone, and her kits. Sorry for their loss. I would be concerned by the vets letting her come home personally if they said there was minimal chance of survival, I would've thought most vets would keep her in to increase her chances as it sounds like more than medication at home may have been needed. Unless of course the vet was confident she would be comfortable at home, and sadly she just didn't make it. I would just be aware of how rabbit savvy the vets are incase you need them in the future.

Since you had a second bunny who also had kits, you may have been able to foster the first litter to the second doe as long as the babies are approximately the same size.
Also, the babies may have died if you did not give the mother a nest box where mother would make her nest and babies would be protected from the elements and snuggled together. A nest box also makes it harder for a mom to accidentally stomp on her babies.
